How to make any text selection into a Stickie Note

Here’s something cool/useless I just picked up on Reddit, so I figured I would share the fruit of knowledge with you. Have you ever wanted to select a bit of text and immediately create a Stickie Note note out of it? No? Well, here’s how anyway!

Step 1: Select some text from your favorite website. We suggest Macenstein. (You can actually select text in ANY app, not just Safari).

Step 2: Press Command + Shift + Y

Step 3: Boom! There is no step 3!

So, why would you want to do this? I’m not sure. The person in the Reddit post was looking for a way to mimic the “Print Selection” feature they enjoyed as a Windows user. This work around allowed them to do just that by moving a text clipping into a Stickie Note, and then simply hitting Command +P to print.

These things work in any Cocoa based app, if I’m not mistaken.
Oh, and the text has to either be or inherit from NSString. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that’s what the requirements are. So if an app is java based or something, I don’t think it’ll work.
